...learning style, emphasis is on text based input and output, using all forms of material especially manuals, reports, essays and textbooks (Fleming, 2001). People who prefer this model spend hours on the internet, gravitating toward power point presentations over audio presentation. In defining the reading and writing learning strategy, the author identified that the reading and writing learning model uses intake of material in a text-based format. It uses lists, headings, dictionaries, handouts and textbooks as the prime source of intake material. Notes taken during lecture and manuals are also used as a source. When preparing to study, rewriting notes taken during lecture, and reading notes over and over, either out loud or silently, are some strategies used in this type of learning style. When preparing for test assignments or exams, taking practice exams with multiple choice questions is often helpful for students with the preference for the reading and writing learning style. In comparing, this authors’ preferred learning strategy to the identified strategies already in place, the model is actuate with only a few slight differences noted. This author finds it extremely helpful to use handouts, textbooks, and lecture notes as reference material when studying. Rewriting lecture notes, after class,...

You will be given a time for your exam (your tutor will allocate exam times during class so please check with your tutor if in doubt) and you will be expected to make any necessary arrangements to make sure you are available and on time.. It is essential that you arrive in good time for the exam (failure to appear at the time given will result in a grade of “no paper”, and so will not qualify to sit the final written examination). Format of oral exam: The exam is individual. Only you and your oral tutor will be there. You will need to prepare two informal talks or presentations (2 min. each) on a given topic (see below). Your tutor will then ask you questions about your presentations and other general questions using the grammar and vocabulary learned this year. Tasks and preparation: The exam lasts under 10 minutes in total. You may bring brief notes (i.e. bull points) to the exam and anything you would like to bring for your presentation (i.e pictures, etc.). Tasks for the exam are attached. When preparing your presentation, remember that we want to hear your fluency and command of Spanish, so don’t prepare a written “script” to recite; if you do your examiner will ask you to start again this time without using your notes.
